"the coax"? _Which_ "the coax", from _where_?
What, exactly, are you trying to do? If you're asking whether a $5
thimble-sized gizmo can replace a cable-TV modem, then the answer is no.I can't (yet) see your (second) picture. In-line images must be
approved by a moderator before others can see them. The time required
varies. Attachments have no such limitation. Of course, attachments
have their own one-per-message limitation.- The Coax cable coming into the house. What other coax would I be talking about? Oh yeah. The one coming out of my TV. I want to hook the TV to a router and send messages to Mars! I have family up there. I need to speak with! Puts adapter in box!

the information which you provide, not by my guesses about invisible
stuff.My _guess_ was that you expected some $5 thimble-sized gizmo to
replace a cable-TV modem, which suggested that you might not be very
bright or well educated. Your response to a simple question ("What,
exactly, are you trying to do?") did nothing to refute that speculation.But feel free to provide some useful information, if you can.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. At least until you switch
from "smart" answers and insults to answers which convey some useful
information.> [...] The adapter says it converts RJ45 to RF.
No, it does _not_ say that. "connectors" and "signals" are spelled
differently for a reason. If you tie an electrical extension cord
to a garden hose, and then plug the extension-cord plug into an
electrical outlet, you do _not_ get water out of the hose.Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number
(look for "Model" on the product label), and look for Documentation.
Get the User Manual (at least). Read.Do you have a modem of some kind? Who/what is your ISP?

That's "you're". And "intelligent".
Must be something wrong with this site because I copied and pasted a link to the!!!
NETGEAR WNDR3400-100NAS Dual Band Wireless and Ethernet Router. Then I copied and pasted a link to the F Female to RJ45 Male Coaxial Coax Barrel Coupler Adapter RJ45 to RF adapter found on eday and various other places. I also posted pictures of both. No one can seem to answer this question? Pretty simple question. Can it be fitted to the end of the coax inside the house which is where routers plug in and plug directly into ethernet on the back of the router. Because all it has is a ethernet connection on the modem/router. So instead of have a modem and a router. Just the router. Ive been around electronics and just dont see what this adapter would be used for? Interested to find out. What plugs an electric signal into an optical reciever?
